Goodreads asked Marla Himeda:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Marla Himeda I got the idea for the Bardic Isles Series from seeing the twin peaks of Mt. Olomana near my home, and visualizing a harp between the two peaks. I started telling my four children a story of a young boy who had a powerful gift for music inside him that he didn't understand that caused him intense pain, and of the Master Bard he followed.
